SCRAPPED?! LOW MILES 1998 Chevy Lumina! 

Right

I guess it could have been

Jay Smart do you still have this car. Or was it crushed. Or did you sell it. Also does this car have Bluetooth and satellite radio and backup camera or No.

🤣🤣

romone crosby not that easy, you need the ecm, harness and etc.

sneakysnakepie1 you know what you're right about that thanks for letting me know

Make it into a sleeper...

romone crosby with enough money and time it's possible. But a 3400 would be ideal just will run with a 3100 fuel trims (fuel ammount). Or you could do 3400 heads or even a 3400 block with a 3500 upper intake. Many possibilities lol the 90° 3800 is pretty different. Better to buy a 3800 car already and if it's naturally aspirated buy a supercharger to put a tune on it. Because people want a shit ton of money if a Buick or Pontiac have a 3800 supercharger factory car.

Rc cola and a secret pie

Right

That trashy granddaughter ruined the car. As-is, pull the tires and crush it. It's too bad. It's a $25 car all day long.

Sad that I believe you. See young kids are stupid slobs

Lol, not really

Take your "lol" and stick it up your ass toyoscio.

Fred Rogers Good one. Just so you know the later 3100 were crap with the aforementioned Intake manifold issues and such. The pre 3.1 was a very good reliable motor with the only big issue being the fuel injectors.

toyoscio We had a 98 century with the 3100 for 12 years 220,000 miles, sold it still running and driving like a dream

Ashraf Zahra That's good. You lucked out.

You are not going to get a "new" motor installed for $1000.00. You know it, I know it, and George Bush knows it.

@@bocabec6744 you guys thinking this is the 80's again no those prices are long gone. I'm sure it's double the amount nowadays

@@FuckSlowShit 1-800-KARS4KIDS would have fixed it up and given it to a person in need. But no. It's seems more logical to blow up the engine by a bunch of idiot losers. "Yup. That was fun Clem."

scott9050 fuck Dexkill

@@CardboardSliver GM didn’t like Dexcool. So much that back when Saturn existed, they refused to put it in their honda motors they bought. So much that Honda stopped selling Saturn engines due to it.

He never does sadly with cars like this.

TechnoMemeYT hi

TechnoMemeYT that's why people have to take care of cars

They go bad at about those miles, mine did the same thing. Other than that they are good cars

Crazy to think these are 20 years old. To me they still look relatively modern.

Kevin Macinnis My 3.1 has 59,500 on it. She doing fine so far.

Don't keep Dex Cool in it. That's the biggest problem with that motor!! It drys out the gaskets.

Only thing good about that motor. Is you can find them in vans. Grand am. Very common motor

Lol, rip me then.

Kevin Macinnis The U body vans had them.

And it was probably floored and driven hard too.

Spencer Clements ya I had 95 3100 and it blew 2 intake gaskets. My 02 had the 3400...head gaskets and intake twice

I have that same engine in my Buick Century with 231,000 miles on it. No problems with the engine at all. Just like you I have never heard of these engines blowing head gaskets.

I had a 95 lumina ls and it blew the intake gasket twice, other than that it was good car.It was a very safe car.It saved my life when a truck driver fell asleep on the interstate and veered into my lane and clipped my driver side rear quarter panel sending me in a out of control tailspin.I ended up crashing into the center median rear end of car first,totaling the rear of the car.I walked out without scratched.

Aspra yes, it is very clean, just fix the engine

SuperToasterCat That wouldn't be a good idea, the Transaxels on Luminas aren't very durable and can easily blow with too much torque.

Ben B. Soo what really oh ok you must be of one of those non car people get outta here

freddy and foxy no, I own a Grand Prix of the same year which is the exact same car as the Lumina except sold as a Pontiac. The Transaxel isn't capable of handling the power an LS would put out and even struggles with the 3800 which is why many of those cars are found with a blown transmission.

Hmm. ...transaxle swap sleeper then?

Luminas are w bodies and the fwd ls4 powered gran prix monte carlo ss and impala ss which are w bodies so what you can do is swap the whole subframe and everything would work. It would work and it would be badass and a cool sleeper build

Good call. Cool comment man. You know what is interesting my dad used to have a lumina similar to this one same style wheels but different radio and different steering wheel design. But his old one was a 1999. And his old one had a CD player. Of course his old one had more miles. I like lumina there always very clean vehicles. But yes I do agree with your comment. Good job.

If you want feel free to subscribe to my channel.

It's true it's kind of sad they don't make them anymore. I miss these cars. I wish they still made these cars.

Corrosion37 😂😂😂😂😂💀

😄😂😂

DrFruikenstein however...the cooling system is pressurized...turn the engine off where's the coolant pressure go....my name might have ford in it but I've done A TON of intake gaskets on these 3 series turd v6s. I guarantee Gm developed the dexcool to cause problems...why else would they put stop leak tabs in the bottom of the coolant resorvoir.

thefordmaniac It doesn't make any sense to me either, but that's just my experience with fifteen of the 3.1 litters, and three 3.4 liter engines. Only two had visible amounts of coolant in the oil. I only sent an oil sample for testing on one (my own), and it did show coolant in the test, but it also wasn't visible. It's safe to assume all of them would've come back positive if tested. The Dex-Cool is SUPPOSEDLY formulated to be long lasting, and gentle on the plastic and aluminum parts... Personally, I'd rather use alcohol and water than Dex-Cool, and alcohol is about as gentle with aluminum as a sledgehammer is with glass. About the only thing Dex-Cool is good for is the bad joke of drinking orange Cool-Aid in front of the guys while handling the stuff, and saying it tastes funny.

DrFruikenstein I think Dexcool does a fantastic job of etching metal away and slugging up in coolant passages. It does those things great! When I worked at Autozone and O’Reillys and someone was changing a water pump, radiator or another part of the cooling system I’d sell them a power flush kit and instruct them on how to get rid of the Dexcool.

I need the MC body, I was just trying to find that video...
